days ago by Thomas Mccoy, "a.
loon keeper, and his brother Alfred,
the postmaster of Haverhill, aided
by two sons Of Alfred, aged twenty
aud fifteen. The McCoys are whisky
Democrats and DIR. Northup was a
Prohibition Republican. Ever since
the Doctor came To the town, five
yesrs ago, he had exercised strong
political influence, and was working
hard to introduce local option. In
this way be had incurred the bitter
enmlty Of the McCoys.
On the day of the tragedy DR..
Northup left his house unarmed,
and was going toward his Office
when he was intercepted by the four
McCoys Three of them fired at
him with shot guns from the house
of the saloou-keeper, while the
fourth, the postmaster, headed him
of and prevented his reaching his
Office. The Doctor drew his knife
and stabbed the postmaster IN the
side. One Of the boys, fearing their
victim would escape, although he
had been fired al eight times, three
loads taking effect, ran from the
house and up to the Doctor and,
placing his gun almost against his
breast, fred both barrels, the loads
passing entirely through the Doc
tors body, and tearing out his heart.
This murder was committed In broad
daylight, just in front of the village
post-othce. The postmaster, who
had been badly wounded, was ar
rested Immediately, and the remain,
ing murderers were captured late IN
the night. The excitement in the
community was such that II was
feared that lyncbing would take
place. The u.al in the Hajdock

and peril Of the country. What the
NorJhup ease will develop remains
